Atnext teams up with Qunar

9 October 2006

Atnext.com and Qunar.com are forming a strategic marketing alliance for the Hong Kong market. The two companies will jointly develop and promote “Atnext Travel Search Powered By Qunar”.

Residents of Hong Kong are some of the world’s most experienced travelers - they are equally as likely to be shopping in Paris’ Galeries Lafayette, catching an Arsenal game in North London or golfing near the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

The partnership between Qunar and Atnext will enable Hong Kong’s globetrotting travelers to utilize Qunar’s special search technology in conjunction with Atnext’s internet portal. As a result, consumers can search over 350 Chinese-language travel web sites for the best travel deals and the widest selection, and make online bookings directly with the vendor of their choice.

“Atnext.com is one of Hong Kong’s largest internet portals reaching over 1.9 million unique users per month and generating over 123 million pageviews*. Qunar.com is China’s first and largest travel search engine. This is a partnership that will provide superior service and value to Hong Kong residents,” noted Denise Peng, Vice President of Product at Qunar.

Mr Sam Hui from Atnext said, ” Our users are savvy consumers and shoppers. Given the right tools and applications I am confident that they will make the best buying decision online in regards to travel services. I am sure our consumers will be very satisfied.”
